I'm trying to package lprint https://github.com/michaelrsweet/lprint which has Apache Software License 2.0 with exceptions for GPLv2 and LGPLv2.

Unfortunately, there isn't a valid short name for 'ASL 2.0 with exceptions' at [2] - would it be possible to add the short name into the table or should I just use simple 'ASL 2.0'?
The question of what to name this exception aside, the lprint NOTICE text is only a portion of the LLVM-exception text[3]. The lprint text is awkward in that the first word of the exception is "Additionally" but there's no prior exception text in the lprint NOTICE file for the "Additionally" to refer to. I wonder whether the author might be willing to avoid creating yet another custom exception type, by including the entire LLVM-exception text in the lprint NOTICE file.
Ah, I completely missed that. I suppose it shows that the LLVM exception is not really suitable as a general-purpose (not compiler-specific) exception.
